“Liminality”: A threshold. Crossing a boundary into somewhere, something new. Rite of passage. The spaces of “used to be” and “desire to be.” Started and unfinished. Phase amidst evolutions. Soaking in of recent happenings, often accompanied by protracted periods of seclusion. A transitioning. Who will we be at the end of this? Stretching, reaching, desiring the tangible, the reward, the answer. In medias res. In the middle of things. In between. Neither here nor there. Fluidity. Making more expansive our understanding of who we are and what it means to be human. In-between spaces of sexuality, gender, identity, cultures, ethnicity, spirituality, knowledge, community in order to embrace ourselves. Self-identifying beyond the binaries. Dismantling of binaries. Moving between the present, past, and future. Physical, figurative, and metaphysical sites of resistance. Malleable situation enabling new ideas, traditions, institutions to be established. Reckoning with the past—pause, reflect, connect—to imagine and create possible futures…Spring 2021.

Artist’s Note: This is a song I wrote and recorded during this month with friends. I play the drums, bass, acoustic guitar 1, and the Electric guitar in this song. My friend Spencer added in some last-minute acoustic guitar as guitar 2, and it was recorded by Cameron Zitting, and Spencer Gundersen at Cameron's home studio. I wrote it after I saw the poster for this, and completed it all within the month. It has been a really fun journey, and I hope you like it!
